Question

The square tile shown has a side length of 10.5 inches. What power can you write to represent the area of the tile? Write the power as an expression with a base and an exponent, and then find the area of the square.

Answer 1

area = width*height
a = 10.5*10.5

The power can be shown as 10.5^2, where ^2 represents the exponent "power of 2."

A=10.5^2
The area of the square is 110.25 inches.
